Very nice staff. Nice breakfast as well. Unfortunately they were doing construction during the day so a lot of noise from 10 AM to 3 PM. However, most of us are out of the hotel at that time. One problem we had was low water pressure and no hot water for one night of stay. Management acknowledge the problem, but did not make any reparations for that.

The rooms are well kept and clean. I will note that the bathroom is only separated by frosted glass which is fine for a solo traveler or couple but could be off-putting to friends/siblings sharing a room. There is not sufficient parking for the guests, but the staff were helpful in pointing out street parking and they generally have a space free for dropping off luggage at check-in and packing it up at check-out. The breakfast is included but the options are limited and feel like a school cafeteria.

Not much choice. No cheeses or cold meats. Rotated between vegetable fried rice or noodles, were tasty though. Staples- sausages, hash browns or potato gems and scrambled eggs. Had fresh fruit, compote, yoghurt, cereals and jams. Hotel was clean and convenient to cafes and restaurants. Would stay again
